I consider a landmark event to be something life changing. Something you can never do anywhere else and most definitely worth seeing.
The cost on these events is usually about the same as a days budget or more. However, it will cost a great deal more to fly back, book another room, pay for food, entertainment,etc.
Here’s a few of my landmark events:
-Climbing all night to Mt. Fuji’s summit to watch the sunrise.
-Bungee jumping the Nevis in Queenstown, New Zealand.
-Madame Butterfly in the Sydney Opera House
-AFL quarterfinal in Melbourne, Australia.
-A show at Moulin Rouge
-Visit the Shaolin Temple
-Experiencing Angkor Wat
-Touring the tunnels of Cu Chi in Vietnam
-Riding a camel into the Sahara desert to camp under the stars.
This is one of the few times where I advocate using a credit card if I don’t already have the money saved.
I always prefer to pay things off and not hold debt. So as somebody who thinks of money as potential opportunity and not just fun tickets. I assure you that you will still feel more guilty for the things you didn’t do then the experiences you chose to pay for.
